IRS Form 8689 – Fillable PDF for USVI Income Tax Allocation

Form 8689, Allocation of Individual Income Tax to the U.S. Virgin Islands, is used by taxpayers who have income sourced from the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI). The form determines how much of your federal tax liability should be allocated to the USVI Bureau of Internal Revenue.

What Is Form 8689?

This one‑page form is divided into two parts:

• Part I – Income from the USVI: List all USVI‑sourced wages, interest, dividends, business income, capital gains, and other taxable items.
• Part II – Figure Your Exclusion: Calculate the percentage of your total income that is USVI‑sourced and apply it to your total tax liability.

How to Fill Out the Fillable PDF

Instead of downloading a static PDF and editing it with a third‑party program, use Formize’s built‑in PDF filler:

1. Click the "Fill out this form" button on the page.
2. Wait a few seconds while the Formize PDF Filler app loads the fillable version of Form 8689.
3. Enter your personal information, SSN, and each income line exactly as it appears on your federal return.
4. Review the calculations automatically performed in Part II.
5. When finished, click "Download Completed Form" or print directly from the browser.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Skipping Part I lines – Every USVI‑sourced income item must be reported; leaving a line blank can cause an inaccurate allocation.
• Using the wrong tax year – Form 8689 must match the tax year of the federal return you are allocating.
• Incorrect percentages – The percentage is calculated on the total USVI income divided by total worldwide income; the filler does this automatically, but double‑check the numbers.
• Signing errors – The form requires a signature; the fillable PDF includes a digital signature field.

Where to Submit the Completed Form

After completing Form 8689, attach it to your federal tax return (Form 1040) when filing electronically, or mail it to the address indicated in the form’s instructions. The USVI Bureau of Internal Revenue also accepts a copy for their records.
